I'm afraid I don't agree with this view at all. Why would you want someone to have a pet they don't want? It's the people who take on pets and then dump them that are at fault.


If you aren't going to look after an animal properly because it's the wrong colour or it isn't young enough for you then you don't deserve an animal. People dump pets because they don't consider the responsibility of looking after them, not because they got the wrong colour.

Not to say take the first thing you find. I don't know if this applies to cats, but with dogs you obviously need a breed and size of dog that matches up with you. What it looks like and how old it is (with the exception of very young or very old) shouldn't really play a part.


I used to know someone that bashed kittens over the head. :( Because they didn't bother to spay the cat. Farmers :x

Are you a kitten, then?

Neither of our cats have been the colour we 'wanted' - we had a white and black one first for about ten years, and when he died in August we got another one which is calico.

We ideally wanted a ginger one both times.

It's not about the colour, it's about what the cat itself is like. If the cat is a prick but is black, would you still want it?

And you can't train a cat :lol: Your friend is an idiot. Cats will do whatever the strawberry float they want no matter what you do. They're not dogs.

As I've said a few times now, 'train' was maybe the wrong word. She wants to be able to raise the kitten from a young age. You can affect the basic character traits of a cat by how you treat it at a young age, just as you can with any animal. Clearly with cats the scope is limited but you can mould them to some extent.

you train them to a point, that point being roughly when they get fed and where to go to the loo...

other than that they do their own thing !

That's one of the things she was hoping to train it.

Yeah it isn't really the season.

We got our last October, they were about ten or twelve weeks.

We got advice from vet friends about them and when to do them etc and were told she won't come in season until its warm. Their hormone cycle is tied into the light levels so raises in the spring.

I'm no expert but thats what they said. We've had our girl and boy done now before that happens.

Train a cat indeed.

true but you can socialise them much better getting them early.

Ours are lovely now after lots of time with them. It does take plenty of effort though. They had had virtually no human handling and were on the verge of getting a bit feral so lots of work was needed.

Any tips/ links?

My friend seems to think cuddling (as in all day long) when they are a baby works best.

Thanks fishy.
